One Honda car was spotted parking illegally on the pedestrian crossing along Hougang Avenue 8.
A passer-by told Mothership that the vehicle was parked right smack at the traffic light pedestrian crossing near a 24-hour coffee shop at Blk 401 on Oct. 2, 12:05am.
This is what the crossing looks like from a different angle:

Because of the car, a wheelchair-bound elderly man faced difficulty getting to the other end of the road.
Fortunately, a few passers-by offered help to move him onto the pavement.
